Situ thought that it had been a while since he last saw Mu Yunji. She should have been living a good life, but from what he heard from the rumors back in Wolong Town, her days should have been very colorful.
He put the spirit source away again and laid down in his clothes.
It was close to early summer, and the weather was exceptionally cool. It was just that tonight, the moon outside was obscured by a thick layer of clouds. It seemed like a heavy storm was coming soon.
The town of Wolong became exceptionally quiet under the sound of the wind.
Suddenly, three black figures appeared in the air above the town.
Situ had just fallen asleep when the sound of a blissful dream filled the air.
Unexpectedly, three shadows appeared in his room.
When he felt that something was wrong, he suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he waved the fire piston in his hand. The light suddenly brightened, but Situ only saw a black cloth covering him.
Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck, and the fire in his hand fell to the ground. He fainted as well.
Suddenly, he felt very cold, and at the same time, someone poured cold water on his face. He woke up quickly, and angrily opened his eyes to see three people in black robes standing in front of him, and these three people all wore large hats, covering their appearance.
The tall and thin figure stood shoulder to shoulder, giving off an invisible pressure.
”You all … What do you want to do? ” ”The shopkeeper started to stammer, thinking that he had met some gangsters.” ”I don't have any money …”
The three black figures looked at each other. One of them took out a gold bar from under his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.
He opened his mouth and said, ”For you, we only want to ask you one thing.”
Upon seeing the gold, the shopkeeper instantly calmed down. As long as he didn't take out the gold from his pocket, anything else would be fine. ”Don't talk about one thing. As long as I know ten things, I will tell you anything.”
”Very good!” The man in black said, ”Did a Karakorum disciple come to your shop today?”
”The shopkeeper thought for a while and nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.” Yes! There are three of them! ” The disciples of the Kunlun Academy usually wore the uniform of the Kunlun Academy when they went down the mountain, so it was easy to distinguish them.
”Bring me there!”
The shopkeeper quickly got up, put on his clothes and led the way. After all, having money and being able to survive was the most satisfying thing.
The shopkeeper was exceptionally agile. The first door was knocked open, and it was a female disciple from Kunlun Academy. The men in black shook their heads. Obviously not.
And the second room was occupied by an elderly disciple, which was also not the case.
The black-clothed people had clearly lost their patience. The other black-clothed person suddenly escaped with a dagger. The dagger that was emitting a cold light flashed in front of the storekeeper's eyes. He didn't say anything, but perspiration began to pour out of his body.
Before the last door, the shopkeeper knocked, ”Sir, Sir!”
No one in the room agreed. The shopkeeper glanced at the impatient black-clothed man behind him, he increased the amount of strength in his hands, and then shouted out loud, ”Guest! Guest! ”
His voice should have been loud enough to alarm the people in the room, but what was strange was that the people in the room seemed to be sleeping soundly, with no one responding.
The shopkeeper said, ”There is indeed a Karakorum disciple living here.”
Before he could finish, someone beside him pushed him away. Another person said, ”There's no one breathing inside!”
The door was kicked open!
Everyone rushed in, but there was no one in the locked room. There was a little bit of warmth left on the bed, and the package was there, but the window was open.
The man in black quickly went to the window and said, ”We were too late!” Just as he finished his sentence, he saw a shadow flash across the rooftop!
He said, ”Chase!”
The other two didn't say anything more, and abandoned the shopkeeper before hurriedly using their cultivation to chase after him.
The shopkeeper looked at the black-clothed man who came and went in a hurry and let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead. What was going on?
Three days later, news came from the Kunlun Academy saying that there was a Kunlun disciple who had been there all along.
When he received this news, Mu Yunji and Jin Yulie were enjoying the cool air in the pavilion. Amu faced a game of chess with a grave expression. He held a black piece in his hand and looked at it for a long time without letting it fall.
Jin Yulie never let him play chess with him. He didn't even allow Mu Wan Yun to speak. At most, he agreed to let Mu Yunji and Amu join hands.
However, Mu Huanyun wasn't this master. He and Amu were often killed by Jin Yu Lie without leaving a trace behind. What he enjoyed most, he said, was watching the two of them fail.
Mu Wan was depressed, so she would rather not play. However, Ammu liked to play chess. Sometimes, she would drag her old lord to the palace in high spirits after winning a few times.
After a crushing defeat, he went back to find the old chieftain to study, and then killed his way to Jin Yulai, repeating the process over and over again.
”Today is quite a good day, losing one move less than before.” Jin Yu Lie was very pleased with himself. His chess skills were not weak. Mu Yun knew that Amu was growing at an unimaginable speed, and was also very promising to win his favor.
Suddenly, a dark guard came to report the disappearance of Situ.
Mu Huanyun's eyes instantly darkened!
”What's going on?”
The dark guards had already expected that they would want to personally find out the truth of the matter, so even the shopkeeper was brought over from Dragon Town to the palace.
This was the first time the shopkeeper had met the empress. Although he was nervous, he was more excited!
He told Mu Yunji everything about that day's situation.
Mu Wan Yun was completely clueless.
